Sorry slightly confused....which grit for the 8x2? And is woodcraft an American site? (Shipping to Canada may kill any savings from sourcing local).

The chinese stone is referred to as a 12k. Being a natural stone that is an estimate. They have a reputation for being a fine slow cutting finisher. Not the best out there but good bang for the buck. Woodcraft in the USA carries it in an 8"x2" and in an 8"x3". The 3' wide is around ten dollars more. I don't know who carries it in Canada but I would bet that it can be found up your way.

IRRC the C12k has been hard to find in canada and shipping from US isnt exactly cheap
open_razor has the C12k listed as chinese waterstone
(seems none has info to share about the 5k/8k kit hes got)
eBay Seller: open razor: Health Beauty, Collectibles items on eBay.com
or for just touchup maintenance you could try to find a barber hone
